Chapter 575 575 Excavator Is Coming

Chapter 575 575. Excavator is coming

The well diggers on the mountain have arrived - it's not that the family is inefficient, it took so many days to hire someone, it's just that now that tap water is connected to the village, the wells of each household are gradually abandoned.

The well diggers can't get any work, so these old masters are busy with their own things. They waited for so many days because they still need to gather manpower.

Fortunately, three people were finally gathered. They came early in the morning and walked around the marked places on the mountain. When they came back, they brought equipment and quoted prices:

“It’s not easy to drill! One is on the top of the mountain, which is full of rocks. You have to use a drill first. The other two are also on other hills, and the angles are very tricky... You not only need to pump water, but also repair the pool and well. The price is expensive!”

“And you want to find a water outlet every few sections, and build a canal in series... Then you need to go to more than a dozen places.”

Discussing with the locals, Wulan took action on this matter. She only heard her say: “The location has been decided for you, how convenient! Fellow villagers, can you tell me the actual price?”

The location was not decided, but roughly circled - Professor Song had been here for a few days and had made a basic plan with Yanran and others, and there was a route for how to dig the canal.

Within this route, it would be more convenient to have more water outlets on the top of the mountain.

The three men discussed with a chuckle and then offered a price honestly: "The one on the top of the mountain is 1,000! We will take care of it! Including repairing the pond... You can find a good place and it will be cheaper, 500. We will slowly look for the others in the next two days, 600 each."

"Too expensive!" Wu Lan said firmly: "Other villages ahead asked you to dig wells, and it was only 400!"

"You also said that the village hired you, the flat land is all soil, which is different from the mountain! For example, our machine is difficult to lift up..."

"I have a tricycle, the tricycle will be sent to you... It must be cheaper! How about this, the rest are 400..."

The two parties went back and forth, and finally successfully set the price according to Wu Lan's idea.

When the people went up the mountain, Wu Lan smiled with satisfaction: "This price is not bad, it's fair."

Then you still look like you are reluctant to admit defeat and have no choice?

"What do you know!" Wulan glanced at the group of people who didn't know how to live: "These are all labor costs, and there is no certainty about the high and low. If you put on such an attitude, people will feel that their price is worth it, and they will feel good when working."

Song Tan: ...

And at this moment, she also received a call——

[Super Affordable Excavator Brother]

Huh, huh, huh?

The excavator brother's voice on the other end of the phone was a little awkward and shy:

"Well, sister, do you need an excavator to work on your mountain recently?"

Yes, why not? She has two or three hundred acres of mountain! Without an excavator, she will have to work until the end of time!

But...

"Can it be done in such a hot day?"

"Yes, yes!" The voice of the excavator guy was full of excitement: "Start working at 4 or 5 in the morning and finish at 10. Start at 5 in the afternoon and finish at 7 or 8. I can work a shift a day, which is definitely eight hours!"

"How do you charge?"

The new hill is not as good as her back hill. At least there are no stones in the back hill, but there are all hillsides with high and low stones, shrubs, small trees and weeds. The excavator comes from the suburbs, and the starting fee is one thousand.

"Not much!" The other party said happily: "Including food and accommodation, 1500 a day, how about it? Is it okay?"

How about it? Song Tan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and bargained symbolically:

"Is it a bit expensive?"

"Not expensive, not expensive, sister! There are rocks on your mountain, and you need to do earthwork. I drive a Komatsu, and I need to add a breaker. One shift is only 1,500! The daily fuel consumption is more than 1,000, plus maintenance and labor costs... I won't charge you any extra money for the breaker!"

When the construction started in the back mountain, Song Tan specifically learned about the price of excavators. This young man was so honest, and she actually had a good impression and trust. At this moment, she was wondering:

"Komatsu? Didn't you drive that Kobelco last time you came?"

Don't think she knows a lot about it. In fact, she only learned about the brand when she chatted with the person in charge of the engineering team last time.

But the excavator guy didn't know, and now he just sighed: "Sister, you are so knowledgeable now. I drove my cousin's excavator last time. He doesn't do it now, so he mortgaged the excavator to someone else, and I bought a second-hand one myself."

In fact, he wanted his cousin's machine, but his cousin owed an online loan, and he was obsessed with money... In the end, he gave up.

"Oh, you can do it!" Song Tan was a little surprised: "A second-hand one would cost hundreds of thousands, right?"

On the other end of the phone, the excavator guy just smiled foolishly: "It's okay. The market has been bad in the past two years, and excavators have improved rapidly, so the price is not that expensive."

"My down payment is only more than 30,000, I have enough money."

"Brother Xu said he could buy it. I work steadily, and he still calls me when he has work."

Brother Xu is the person in charge of the engineering team. In the past few years, the excavator guy has been an apprentice for others, and later took over the team. When there is no work, he will go to any project that needs people. He can do everything and has learned a lot. He is a down-to-earth person.

It's hard to find such young people now! Therefore, the person in charge likes him quite a lot.

Coincidentally, Song Tan also likes this kind of steadiness.

At this moment, she smiled and said, "So you are looking for a job here to pay the monthly installment! Okay, then come. I have to work hard on these two hundred acres for a while."

"Okay, sister!"

The excavator guy was even happier: "I like working for your family, the food is delicious, and the salary is not delayed. I will go there tomorrow!"

This is so sincere.

The excavator business was hot in the past few years. For the job that the excavator guy is taking now, there are people who hire him for more than 2,000 yuan per shift when the salary is high.

In recent years, it has been bad. Many people can't get any work. Many people in their excavator group can't do it anymore and have sold their cars to change jobs.

Even if they get a job, it is difficult to get paid.

He has been taking shifts for others for many years, and he has also encountered arrears and debts, or the price agreed, but the other party regretted it after the work was done...

Only working at Song Tan's house is so comfortable!

Although the excavator he drove at the beginning was a little smaller, it had low fuel consumption and he asked for a low price.

But Song Tan always said that the price was what he said, and he was fast and unambiguous when paying the bill, which was far better than others.

And...and the food in her house is really delicious!

Thinking of this, the young man's saliva was about to flow out.

He said it so honestly, Song Tan was not vague:

"Okay! Then you can come over in the next two days. But my family has no place to live, you can live with my grandfather."

The planning has not been completed yet, but it does not affect digging the mountain and exposing it to the sun.

I asked for a quote of 400 for digging a well on flat ground. It is not expensive. The quote may be different in each region. Of course, it does not include the entire well repair, otherwise the cement and bricks will cost more than this price-after all, there is no plan to repair it on the mountain, just a simple pond.

I also consulted the price of the excavator in detail, including Komatsu, which has high fuel consumption, but is more suitable for both crushing stone and earthwork...

But if there is anything wrong, you are welcome to point it out and I will modify it in time. Thank you everyone!

It's daytime again, although it's late, it's here!
